MIR. Shepherds Exhibit at Nor

gan's Grove We are glad to be able
10 report that the outlook for the sue
cess of the Morgan's Grove Exhibition
grows still more promising. In addi-
ton to the many interesting items to
which we have heretofore referred, we
now learn that it is the intention of Mr..
Henry Shepherd to exhibit his Jerseys
and other fine stock. We also hear that
a procession will be formed in town on
the morning Of Wednesday, the 18th
inst, between Z and O'Clock, which,
headed by band of music, will march
to the Grove. Novel as this method OF
procedure may seem on the part of Mr..
S., we have no doubt it will prove one of
the most interesting and attractive fea-
lures of the Exhibition. And as to the
stock themselves, it is universally adj
mitted that securing them will be quite
an acquisition, sight of them aftording
much enjoyment to the many admirers
of real thoroughbred and handsome an
finals.
We also learn that Mr.. S. intends to
entertain at his home, at Wild Goose,
number of the distinguished gentlemen
who are expected to be present during
the Exhibition. Gratifying again, as
the fair fame and credit of the commu-
nifty is largely contributed to by proper
attention and courtesies shown visitors.
And perhaps no other gentlemen in the
valley of Virginia is so happily situated
to extend the Inequalities in so good
taste and keeping with both the occa-
sion and character of the guests as Mr..
5. But these favors on bis part are the
more deserving of mention when the
motive inducing them is considered. 1t
is no advertisement of either stock or
farm, as neither are for sale. 1t is only
the outgrowtb OF Mr.. SIS intense in
terest in the general welfare, happiness
and enjoyment of the people of the
community in which he was born and
was born and reared.
We are not unmindful that we have
heretofore-in connection with gen
erous acts-referred to the refinement.
culture, liberality and public-spirt of
Mr.. S., but feel that renewed sense of
public obligation to him justifies reiter-
ating on former favorable comments,
and congratulating our people that we
can not only claim him as an honored
fellow-citizen, but as native produce
ton of our own section.

morning as engine No. 2S7, with a
freight train attached, was slowly COM
ing east near North Mountain, it struck
three cross-ties that had been placed on
the track, evidently for the purpose of
wrecking the train. AS the train was
moving slowly the ties were knocked
from the track and no damage done,
but had it been running at the usual
rate the damage must have been great
and would doubtless have caused the
death of some of the train men. A
young man named William Reardon
was suspected of the deed and descrip-
ton of him was sent to Officer Sloan
who arrested him in Martinsburg the
same day. When arrested he confessed
the crime to Mr.. Sloan and gave his
name as John Kelly. 10 place an OBJ
struction OH railroad track with the
intention of adding another to the long
list of railroad horrors, is a devilish
deed and no punishment can be too Sc
we're for the perpetrator.- Aartinsburg

What Does it Mean ?--What does

this mean? Hunter from Jefferson, the
popular prison oflicial-Prince Albert
coat la Worth-nobby silk hat-kid
gloves-cane. What in the name Of
Darwinian evolution does it all mean,
anyhow? This is the question that is
now agitating the minds of Mr.. Hunters
numerous admirers-especially the
female portion. Some say he has been
promoted; others, that he has fallen heir
to a princely fortune; but those who are
best acquainted with the habits and pecu-
liarities of Mr.. Hunter meet all inquiries
with knowing wink accompanied by
significant reference TO the forhead,
which, interpreted, means this: Mr..
Hunter is to be married shortly. Yes,
girls, ere another month has been added
to the past, ere another prison payroll
has been squandered, Mr.. Hunter will
be hopelessly lost to you. One of
Moundsville's fairest, wealthiest and
most accomplished daughters will be the
sole owner and proprietor of the heart
and hand Of Mr.. j. L. Hunter. And the
population of Moundsville sayeth amen,
God bless you Hunter.-MoundSr,lle

NroIer,s Exhibition.-The fourr

NHOIer's Exhibition.-The fourth
annual exhibition at Moler's Grove on
Wednesday and Thursday was quite up
to the standard which those good people
have set up. We are sorry that the
crowded condition of our columns this
week prevents us from giving more
extended notice Of it. On "Wednesday
Hon. E. Boyd Faulkner, Of Martins
burg, made the address Of welcome. His
speech was an excellent one, and we
have heard 1t commented on most favor
ably. In the afternoon Mr.. John o..
Aglionby made an address, which we
are sorry to say we did not hear. The
exhibit of live stock, poultry, farm
products, minerals, cakes, bread, pre-
serves, wines, ladies' handiwork, &C.,
was an excellent one. Music was fur
nished by the Myersville Cornet Band
and the Bolivar Glee Club. The latter
organization is composed Of the follow
ing persons: Organist, Miss Fannie
Baden; Arst tenor, B. w. Baden; sec
ond tenor r. L. Loman; first bass, c.
II. Baden; second bass, F. II. Mauzy, G.
j. Cavalier and r. l.. Smallwood. This
organization sang in fine style several
times during the day, and were the CEN
ter of attraction. A number of young
ladies from Bolivar and Harper's Ferry
assisted them in several pieces.
On Thursday Hon. VIM. L. Wilson
made an interesting address TO large
crowd. He was followed by Hon. d.
B. Lucas and Judge 0key Johnson, and
later Mr.. Samuel Michaels gave one Of
his characteristic talks. The Keedys-
vile band was also present Thursday.
On Wednesday game Of baseball be-
tween the Shepherdstown club was
played. II was most interesting game,
and was won by Moler's by score
of 20 to Is.
Our old friend William Anderson,
who is the boss ape-api-apiarist Of the
county, was on hand as usual, and pre-
sented the editor with cap Of excellent
honey, for which we are very thankful.
This is an agreeable custom Of Williams
which We hope he will keep up.

Un.eId..Rickard.-Prof. B

c.. Unseld, of New York. formerly OF
Shepherdstown, and Miss Sallie +.
Richard, daughter of Mr.. John L. Rick
ard, of this place, were united in the
holy bonds of matr imony on Tuesday
evening last, the ceremony being SOL
emnized in the Lutheran Church by the
Rev. D. NJ. Moser. The church was
filled with the friends Of the contract
ing parties long before the hour ap-
pointed. but the bridal party was ex-
actly on time when they entered the
church. 1t was composed as follows:
The four ushers, Nessrs. Chas. 5. Bill
myer, A. B. Bush, Walter Herr and
VIM. Kearfoot, all of this vicinity; the
four maids of honor, Hiss Nellie Gar
vim, of Wildwood, and Misses Ella Rick
ard, Annie Licklider and Mamie Herr,
of this place; the groomsmen and
bridesmaids, Mr.. D. l.. Rentch and Miss
Bette Licklider and Prof. T.J. Woofter
and Miss Kate Richmond, the latter OF
Missouri; last came the bride and groom,
and when the entire party had sur
rounded the altar Rev. Mr.. Moser quick
ly made the twain one according to the
form of the Lutheran Church. The
bride was beautifully dressed in white
surah silk, with veil, and all the lady
attendants wore white dresses of some
soft material-all very handsome, OF
course; the gentlemen were attired in
the usual black. The wedding march
was performed by Prof. Burgess, OF
Philadelphia in a very skillful manner.
After the ceremony the happy couple
received some of their friends at the
home of the bride, and later took a train
for the North. They will make their
future home in New York.
The church was very handsomely dec
grated with flowers. The most beauti-
full piece was floral harp composed Of
white flowers, resting against back
ground of dark green ferns. Potled
plants and cut flowers, trailing vines
and graceful foliage, were most skill
fully blended in one harmonious effect,
adding much to the attraction OF the
occasion. There were also two pretty
gates of flowers in the main aisle, sep
arating the reserved seats from the bal
ance of the church.
The presents received by the bride
were quite numerous. Among them
was purse of gold from the members
of the Lutheran Church, where Miss
Richard was for long time the faith
full and efficient organist.
Miss Sallie will be greatly missed
from this community, of which she was
a useful and honored member. Her
many friends will unite with the REGIS
TER in wishing her as well as her hus-
band many happy years of welded life.

BRIEFS.

There is considerable complaint
throughout the State owing 10 the delay
in printing the acts of the last Legisla-
ture. A number of laws are in force
the provisions of which are neither
known by the public or to those who
are sworn to administer them.
Mr.. John NJ. Marsteller has been APP
pointed master mechanic of the machine
shops of the Baltimore and & Ohio Rail-
road at Martinsburg, TO take the place
of Mr.. VIM. Edwards, retired. The
latter had occupied the position for
thirty-four years, and is now retired on
part pay.
Mr.. Gustav Brown, the genial
Charlestown confectioner, was fifty
years old last Thursday, and his family
and friends made the occasion very
pleasant one for him. His wife pre-
scented him with handsome gold
headed cane and his sons gave him a
fine Thirty-third Degree Masonic ring.
The Baltimore american says that
Messrs. Brown & Cooper, the proprie-
tors of the st. Clair Hotel, at Martins
burg, skipped out between two days last
week, leaving behind them large
number of unpaid bills. Mr.. George
Ramey, a former Martinsburg hotel
man, has taken charge Of the st. Clair.
James w. Fiske has recently turned
up missing from Hagerstown. He
married a lady from the Boonsboro
neighborhood couple Of years ago, and
it has since become known that he also
had wife in Waynesboro, Pa. Fear
ing arrest for bigamy, Fiske left for
South America last week, leaving both
wives lamenting.
1t is stated.t that large sum of money
will be expended in the next year or two
for the bettermeut Of the Shenandoah
Valley Railroad. Most of it will be ex-
pended in replacing the wooden tres
thing in Page county, Va, with sub
stantial iron work. We are informed
that work has already been begun at
some of the trestling.
The following suggestive effusion is
from the Reed City (Mich.) Clarion:
"There is little matter that Some Of
our subscribers have Seemingly for
gotten entirely. Some of them have
made us promises, but have not kept
them. To us it is very important
matter; it is Eecessary in our business.
We are very modest and don't like to
Speak about it."

Morsan's Grove.-Next week

MOrgan's GrOve.-NeXt week,
September 18th, 14th and 18th, Nor
gan's Grove Exhibition will be held.
All the arrangements have been per-
fected, and if the weather is promising
the Exhibition will be an immense sue
cess. The grove is simply magnificent
now. All the underground aud rub.
bish has been removed, and the carpet
of green grass is spread under the noble
oaks in grander style than the furnish
ing of kings palace. The buildings
have all been put in good shape, the
stalls for stock repaired and the roads
fixed in good shape for vehicles. The
programme will be most interesting
one. Addresses by prominent men, a
ladies' riding match, several games OF
baseball, baby show, a grand cavalcade
of stock, several bands OF music, and va
rious other attractions have been Sc
cured. The railroads will give very
low passenger rates, and the toll on the
bridge will be half fare. Hacks will be
run from town to the grove at low
prices. The exhibits Of horses, cattle,
sheep, hogs, poultry, &C., farm prod
ucts, fancy work, the handiwork Of the
ladies, &C., promises to be very large
one, and will be well worth seeing. The
exhibit of machinery, &C., will also be
very large. Everybody is invited to at
tend this Exhibition, and everybody is
invited to make some exhibit. 1t is for
the benefit of the public, and the public
should make every effort for its success.

Death Of VIM. n. Craighill.-


Mr.. William n. Craighill, one of the
oldest and best-known citizens of JEFF
ferson county, died at his residence in
Charlestown Tuesday morning in the
eightieth year of his age. He had been
in declining health for several months,
but was not confined to his bed for
more than two weeks. Death was the
result of old age and a gradual giving
way of his physical powers. For many
years previous to the late war Mr..
Craighill was an officer Of the Valley
Bank at Charlestown, first as teller and
afterwards as cashier, the duties of
which he discharged with intelligence
and fidelity. After the war he was for
several years a clerk in the office of his
son, Col. VIM. p. Craighill, engineer
United States army, stationed at Balti-
more. For several years Mr.. Craighill
had lived in retirement in CharleStOwn.
He was member OF the Episcopal
Church, a constant attendant on its
services, and an earnest worker in all
schemes for the bettcrment of the con.
dition of his fellow-man. Hell leaves
widow, three daughters and five sons,
the latter being Col. VIM. p. Craighill,
Rev. James B Craighill, rector of the
Episcopal Church at Belair, Nd, and
DIR. E. A. Craighill, Robert L. Craig
hill, and George p. Craighill, all pros
porous business men, of Lynchburg, Va.
Mrs. DR.. C.. +. V. 5. Butler, of Shep-
herdslown, is one of his daughters.
